Sometimes the driver collides with a sign, a bicycle tied to the side of the road, a wooden barrier, or a tree.
On the road while reversing or moving forward and turning, this puts him in a difficult and confusing situation and he does not know how to act and whether to report this thing or not. Here I will clarify some important matters for behavior in such situations.
First, you must know that colliding with a tree, for example, wood, or a sign on the road and falling to the ground
It is the responsibility of the municipality to repair it, not the police, since there are no human injuries or damage to others’ personal property.
You just have to try to adjust the sign and put it in place if you can.
The one responsible for repairing roads and anything related to them is the municipality, not the police
However, if there are human casualties or damage to the property of others, then the matter must be reported to the police
An example of this is the following:
You were driving on a road or a parking lot and there was a bicycle next to the road.
Unintentionally, I bumped into or stepped on it, causing damage to it
In this case, you must first contact the owner of the bike and explain the matter to him, but if you are unable to contact its owner
In this case, you must report the matter to the police and explain in detail what happened to you, because if you do not report it
The bike owner will report the damage, so be the first to take the initiative and do not escape from the place for any reason.
Collision with a road sign
If you were driving your car and for some reason you collided with a road sign and there was no damage to other people’s cars
Or human injuries. In this case, try adjusting the sign to its normal position
Report this to the municipality because they are responsible for repairing roads and everything related to them.
Collision in situations
If you were driving in a parking lot and collided with a sign, pole, or barrier inside the parking lot
It is usually wooden and breaks, and in this case you have to try to put the sign back in its place
Notify the company responsible for the situation or the municipality
If it is a parking lot for residents of the area and not affiliated with a parking company such as Smart Park, Easy Park, Parkster, and others.
If you are driving your car in reverse and hear the sound of a hit or collision and see visible damage to other people’s vehicles or property
You should contact the police and the vehicle owner.
If you were driving your car in reverse and heard a light knock and there were no clearly visible damages or scratches
There is no need to do anything as there is no damage to vehicles or private property.
You should know well that accidents happen anywhere and at any time, and you should not escape from the accident site for any reason
If you flee the scene of the accident, your driver’s license may be withdrawn.
Accidents are possible and can happen, and even if your driving license has not exceeded two years, you cannot escape responsibility
The consequences for you, because this may put you in a bad situation, but face the matter calmly and do not evade your duties and responsibilities.
